State Orphan Asylum Location-Mi-
nority Report.
The commissioners. Messrs. j. +.
Labatt. III. G. Cleaver and +. N. Oliver,
appointed to locate the state orphan
asylum, made their final report to the
governor this morning. The majority
Clesver, ia in favor of Corsicsna, which
gives the location that enterprising
burg. They say:
AFTER careful consideration we are OF
the opinion that COrsicana, possessing
the combined requisites of health, ac-
feasibility and fertility OF soil, ia the
most suitable site for the location of the
asylum."
MIR. Oliver makes the following mi
nority report.
"The undersigned. one of the commits
siOners to locate the state orphan
asylum, with due regard to the honOra-
BILE commissioners as above set forth, as
well as to Corsicana, would most re-
specially set forth that he cannot con-
cur in the foregoing selection as against
Pilot Point in the final ballot, for the
following and unselfish reasons. to wit:
81. That north Texas in point Of tax
able values and population, bears the
largest burden of the state government
and has not one state institution.
"2. Corsicana is within the space Of
one county on the east of Rusk peniten-
tiary, and on the west within one and
half counties of the state refOrmstory.
80. The chosen location is upon an
adjoining tract of land, and the cOntem-
pIdltu eltt Nltulh n 10" hlNp
of the already established state orphan
home of the Independent order of Odd
Fellows of Texas, which will surely con-
flct in local privileges and public sym
pathies and charities, which belong
wholly to the state orphan home.
-. Lastly, in an offered compromise
between Alvarado, Denton or Pilot
Point, in the latter we claim altitude
over Corsicana of PIG feet, with building
stone on the 1874 acre donation worth
100000, and health unsurpassed and
free from fear of future cOntagiOn, upon
the bosom of the best farming and horti-
cultural section of the state.
Yet, inasmuch as the board in Its or
ganiZation agreed that the majority. or
two members, should be legal and final
in its decisions, we waive any claims
touching the legality of said majority
report.
"Respectfully submitted,
~. n. OLIVER
